What an awesome surprise! My SA at Hermes recommended this spot for coffee. I wish had known about them sooner. It's Puerto Rican coffee made fresh with only 190 calories per serving. They're most popular for their hot lattes. There are several locations spreaded out in New York, but it doesn't feel like a large chain like Starbucks. It feels welcoming and cozy. They even have their own merch! I give their coffee a 10/10. read more

787 Coffee in Manhattan was really nice. I stopped by while walking across Manhattan during an exploratory vacation. Out of all the options, I landed on the mint cold brew pouch, which was a little pricey but 1) it was huge and 2) it's New York City. The mint cold brew was super tasty! It had a deep uniform flavor with a clean mint finish. It was also convenient for carrying around the city. The cafe itself is small, but it's comfortable, cozy, and has a homey, welcoming vibe. Overall I had a nice experience. read more

SO glad to have stopped by this shop while in Chelsea on a frigid cold evening. The barista is so incredibly sweet and said the horchata latte is a best seller. I had my choice of bean for it to be brewed from, 3 choices, which fun and unexpected. She had just made big chocolate chip cookies that were packed with chocolate - drooooool! The latte was perfect - not too sweet, incredible flavor, and the espresso was smooth and rich in the BEST possible way. Plus it was served in the cutest cup! The stickers here are fun to look at, the vibe is funky cool, the seats are comfy, and the bags/shirts are awesome. Definitely check this place out when in the area! read more

Stopped in here for coffee with some friends. It is super small, but we managed to sit down on the swing and the bar stools. The staff here is super nice! I got the cold brew and it was smooth and delicious. Someone else in my party got the matcha latte, and even with the vanilla (which was an extra charge) it was a little bland.

I originally came because I wanted to find a cute place to read + the coffee in a reusable bag concept intrigued me. The music and grinding machine was too loud to do work- I kept becoming distracted and ended up not reading as much as I wanted to. The seats aren't that comfy and the shop was small so you can hear the table next to you chattering. I wouldn't come here again. The iced coquito latte was good but not worth the price. The lady up-charged me after asking if I want special beans/rum particles? I'm not too sure but I didn't know it would be an additional charge- I wish she had specified that. She also came up to me as I was in the middle of reading and asked if I could write a Google Review. I said yes but she kept standing in front of me and making conversation until I told her I posted one. That made me really uncomfortable. read more

I really do like this place, especially their unique specialty drinks and yummy snacks and just the overall vibe. I've been to a few 787s before, but this was my first time at a location where there was a ton of seating and the interior was so spacious. There's an insane amount of room here considering it's a coffee shop, and I loved how they laid everything out. The person who took my order was super nice, answered all of my questions, and I walked away with my tres leches latte, which is one I've never had before. It's sweet, but the flavor is subtle. Chicken empanada came fresh out of the oven. Literally the only thing going against it is that I had some major stomachaches afterward. BUT no risk no reward. read more

Great place to hang out or bring your laptop, but I'm not a big fan of their lattes. Drinks only come in one size, and the milk options are limited to oat or whole... neither of which are my preference. There was only one barista handling both the register and making drinks, so there was a bit of a wait. read more

Cozy PRican coffee (all around NYC). Been seeing this since PR and wanted to try it in NYC. Drink was fresh and service was good. However, thought $7 was expensive since I'm use to ~$3-5 coffees in PR. But understood this is NYC pricing. Barista initially asked if I wanted to change my beans and it turned out to be $10. He didn't tell me the price of those beans so I had to ask to downgrade after seeing the price on the screen. read more

We came off the train at 14th street, it was hot and I needed refreshment badly! Right near the corner was the sounds of reggaeton music and the smells of good coffee. The establishment is smaller but it's cute with swings and seating inside and out. The gentleman at the register took our order and the coffees came quickly in these little pouches, perfect for Instagram photos. The coffee was delish and just strong enough to keep me moving as I continue to explore NY. read more

So they don't have a drip or pour over and everything is espresso based but I tried the rum infused coffee in the form of a cortado and I must say it was probably the best coffee I've ever had. It was $9 for a shot but what a treat. They sell the infused beans at $47 for a half pound so I decided to skip that purchase. Anyway, friendly people, cool space, and a great coffee will certainly make 787 a must stop when in the city. read more

There are 3 different coffee bean options but I didn't realize until paying that the cinnamon bean option I chose was an additional $3 charge so my coffee was $10 (not including tip).

Unique drinks! The special beans cost $3 extra and the drink itself it already a bit expensive. It felt like the person taking my order was trying to have me add these things to my drink without us realizing it was extra. We had the coquito and the horchata iced lattes, without all the additions. Wow. I loved the coquito and I don't typically enjoy coconut flavors. It was so creamy and perfect amount of sweet and cinnamon flavor, but still coffee forward. It was something very different from a normal latte or coffee. It was fun to carry this around and I definitely got comments on it since it's a fun pouch. The portions were quite large and the coffeeshop itself was very cute. I would come again! read more

Dulce de leche RUMLAHE with a pick of Rum infused beans, yum! The coffee options make it challenging to just pick one. You'll find yourself looking at the menu going back and forth on what to get. 787 offers different bean infused flavors. Note, don't let the names hinder you from trying them. You aren't going a strong whisky or rum coffee. Get there early if you want a fresh warm pastry because some sell out quick. We got the cheese danish. It was tasty and paired well with the coffee. They sell swag like shirts and hats. There are cute chairs and tables to enjoy your coffee. There are plugs for someone that wants to work or study there for a moment.

787 Coffee in Chelsea had a homey cafe interior. My friend and I stopped by Saturday afternoon and both enjoyed an Americano (he got the Rum infused option and I went with the Whiskey infused option). Dang, I guess when you infuse anything with alcohol, the pricing increases by 2x. Our Americanos were 8.00 per cup. The coffee was alright -- I don't know if I am a huge fan of alcohol infused coffee. The flavor and after taste was definitely unique. They do have a lot of unique specialty latte flavors (Latin inspired) which seem like they'd be worth a try if I come back in the future. read more

Do you ever just get tired of the chain coffees? Well, that was definitely me. I was desperately craving coffee and hoping that I'd run into a nice cafe and that is exactly what happened. The shop is small, but super cute and the swing is a nice added touch. For my coffee, I ordered the dulce de leche latte and let me tell you...it was a 10/10. I honestly wished I had gotten a larger size because it was that good. I really wanted to try the chocolate chunk cookies but unfortunately they were all out. If I am in the vicinity, I will definitely stop by. read more

I love that they have plant-based coffee here! As someone with lactose intolerant, it such a hassle finding other options for my caffeine. I had the Dulce de leche latte and the tres leche latte with oat milk. The lattes contain 2 shot of espresso each. Dulce de leche was my favorite! Tastes like a sweet caramel. The tres leche was good too, but it was a bit too milky for my taste. I would ask for less oat milk next time. A little warning, it has a hint of cinnamon for my non-cinnamon drinkers. Each latte comes inside of a bag, instead of a cup. I find that it is easier to transport this way. I just wish they have their label on it, because I almost forgot the name of the place. I downed both latte before I even made it 2 blocks. The ambiance is super cute with swings and plants! Perfect place for a photo shoot with a delicious drink. Outside seating is available as well. read more

I came here for a quick coffee meeting as the location is close to the train and nearby offices. It's a cute and cozy spot with a couple of tables and seats. The staff is friendly and kind. I got a latte and a chicken empanada which came out to be a bit more than $12. It can be a splurge but I really wanted to try the empanadas based on the reviews. And wow, it was so good! I couldn't believe it. The outer crust was delicious and just right. The filling was the best - plentiful, flavorful and full of meat. I would definitely get it again as it's a lovely treat in the morning. The coffee was good too but the empanada stole the show for me. They also have awesome signage on the walls. read more

No greeting, no "I'll be right with you" as I'm just standing there waiting to order. Even though we ordered around the same time, my friend got her empanada first while I sat here for over 7 minutes waiting for mine. How difficult is it to reheat these empanadas? It wasn't until I had to walk up to the lady at the cash register to ask about the status of my order. She then gives me my bag that was just sitting behind the counter. Did they not bother to call my name/order number? And trust me, I was listening diligently to make sure I hear my order when called. Like I said, empanadas tasted good, big in size and packed with meat. Not sure if this is a sketchy part of town or just where the riff-raffs hang out soo that may explain the lack of care here. A place to just order your empanadas and move on with your day.

It's hard for me to choose because I always want to pick like 7 different kinds. Their brazilian is one of my favorites, and whichever one has oxtail and another with olives - SO GOOD! if you're in the mood for a whole entree you won't go wrong with their pollo guisado - the chicken is SO freaking tender and those potatoes are so savory and soak up all that flavor. WOW. Like, lowkey a sleeper hit! They're also open late. A really really welcome to the Upper East Side, a dose of authentic culture and delicious food in an otherwise relative food-desert neighborhood. Thank you Empanada mama!!

We ordered the octopus, tuna tartare, skirt steak, and chicken, along with a margarita and the Palermo Mezcal cocktail. Every single item was exceptional. Even the complimentary bread that came out at the beginning was a 10/10. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and we loved being able to watch the kitchen prepare our food from our table. It's a small kitchen, which makes it even more impressive that they're consistently turning out such thoughtful and delicious dishes. I noticed some reviews mentioning slow service, but I honestly think those people missed the entire point of the experience. Palermo isn't meant to be rushed. The atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and feels like you're sitting in someone's living room enjoying a meal they've carefully prepared just for you. We never felt pressured to order quickly or rushed through our meal, which made the experience even better. Every dish was meticulously prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. You can tell that everything is made with care and attention to detail. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, Palermo created an experience that felt warm, intentional, and memorable. If you're looking for a spot that makes you feel like you've been transported to Argentina, where you're welcomed to slow down, enjoy great company, and savor your meal at your own pace, this is the place for you. Palermo delivers more than just incredible food--it creates an experience. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and authentic, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.

If you are on the socials, then no doubt you've seen this viral NYC coffee on tap spot. I love trying coffee spots so I knew I had to visit. I hopped on the train and got there around an hour after they opened and the line was only about 15 people long. They take your order while you are waiting in line (it's a to go spot so no seating), and things move quickly. I got the salted caramel with a croissant and it was smooth creamy but not heavy and not too sweet perfection...the chocolate almond croissant was great but quite small. On my second visit I decided on the bergamot honey latte--again it see very good...the bergamot is there but not over powering. This time I got the banana bread and it was superb! Take your coffee and treats to the park across the street with benches. You can people watch and enjoy your morning coffee!!

It was busy, so after paying, you get a cute ticket--hand it to the barista for the viral latte!

They don't rely on a laundry list of fancy toppings to hide behind; it's just the basics, executed flawlessly. I really appreciated that they keep it simple, giving you the choice of onion or no onion, letting the quality of the beef and the perfect sear speak for itself. Logistically, it's first-come, first-served seating where you're given a number. It wasn't too busy when I stopped by, so the process was seamless and quick. It's hard to imagine how they could make this any better without fundamentally changing what a smash burger is supposed to be. If you appreciate the classics done right, this is an absolute must-visit in NYC.

It was busy but not overcrowded, and we found a table outside. When you arrive, you order at the counter inside, receive a number, and then find a seat while your meal is prepared fresh. A server brings your food to your table once it is ready, it only took about 5-7 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the "All the Way" burger, their classic smash burger with mustard, diced onions, dill pickles, and cheese, along with fries and a gluten-free bun. The total came to about $17, including tax and tip. The burger was delicious. Smash burgers are my favorite, and this one was cooked perfectly with crispy edges while still moist. I also really appreciate that they offer a gluten-free bun. The burger and fries were a satisfying portion without feeling overly heavy. This is a casual spot, but it consistently delivers delicious food at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a classic smash burger in the neighborhood, I would recommend. I will certainly be back!
